why is everyone suggesting Snow Leopard when he's asking about Leopard?
some people have gone back to 10.5 due to incompatibility issues that have not been resolved. understand that not everyone can use SL without major issues with their setups.

Lipskidder,
I don't know if it will help but I've still got a Leopard Upgrade disc still sealed in the mailing envelope from Apple.
If you need it, pm me.

As lipskidder didn't mention potential issues with Snow, and did mention the higher prices of Leopard, and also mentioned that he *could* do the Snow upgrade but thought he would still need Leopard, the suggestions for Snow seemed appropriate.

It's common to revisit the premise to validate it. If in fact the reason he asked about L as opposed to SL was based upon a fallacy, then perhaps a more thoroughly satisfying solution could be arrived upon.
My son the other night asked if I could open the door for him. Asking why led him down a whole new path of thinking about the horrible solution to a problem he was about to undertake. Getting back to the root need he was able to understand his line of thinking was flawed. He gained more benefit from the critical thinking exercise than just having me help him with his ill-planned execution of his solution.

So how many of you went back to L from SL because of the bug issues?

I went with SL on my work Mac. The biggest issue I had was with my Brother QL570 label printer (solved).
I am still experiencing problems with external drives not showing up after the computer is put to sleep. A restart fixes the problem and then unmounting prior to putting the computer to sleep keeps this from happening. It's a pain.
I think there's a fix for that where you copy a file from L into SL but I haven't done that yet.
I keep hoping 10.6.3 will be out one of these days and fix the issue.
That's it for me.
I run Adobe CS4 & Office 2008 apps along with other utilities.

I was in my room and I was just like staring at the wall thinking about everything. But then again I was thinking about nothing. And then my mom came in and I didn't even know she was there. She called my name and I didn't hear her and then she started screaming: MIKE! MIKE!
And I go: What, what's the matter?
She goes: What's the matter with you?
I go: There's nothing wrong mom.
She's all: Don't tell me that, you're on drugs!
I go: No mom I'm not on drugs I'm okay, I was just thinking you know, why don't you get me a Pepsi.
She goes: NO you're on drugs!
I go: Mom I'm okay, I'm just thinking.
She goes: No you're not thinking, you're on drugs! Normal people don't be acting that way!
I go: Mom just get me a Pepsi, please
All I want is a Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me.
Just a Pepsi.
